Babies in Pouches

Babies in Pouches is an informational text about babies that are carried by their mothers or fathers in pouches.  The text is composed of simple language patterns that are close to oral language.  Several questions are posed directly to the reader.

All the sentences are short and mostly predictable.  Vibrant photographs match the text directly and labelled inset photographs add detail.  Question marks are used.  The book concludes with cameo photographs of all the animals and an index.

The high frequency words are it, where, and they.  Interest words include babies and pouches.
